Mr. Caoimhín Ó Ciaruáin:

The climate advisory council sits independently. It will do its thing. That is expected from what I hear in the next week or two. The latest deadline we have for the climate action plan being announced is towards the beginning of November. The two are linked.

The fundamental question the Chair is asking is whether the 55% we speak of achieving at European level is consistent with the 51% baseline nationally.
